Description:
Although not a serious bug, and I could not find any other bugs related to this. It is a minor observation which deals with the UX of the application. 

The issue is suppose you are writing a sentence, you type in an incorrect word, you see a red line under it, you right click and choose correct spelling. Now with correct spelling in place the cursor goes to the first character of the word. You can no longer just continue your typing. You need to put the cursor manually back to end position. 

Not a major issue, but irritating for users like me who prefer on the fly spell corrections and make frequent errors. 

MS Word does opposite, the cursor goes to the end of the word not at the beginning hence you can immediately start typing further. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a sentence with a word containing spelling mistake
2. Choose right spelling by right clicking red underlined word.
3. The cursor will be at the first character of the word.

Actual Results:
The cursor moves to the first character of the corrected word. To type further sentence, cursor needs to be placed at the end manually

Expected Results:
Like MS Word, the cursor should be at the end of the word so that further typing can be started immediately.


Reproducible: Always
